Delivery issue spurs last-minute fireworks show cancellations

Fourth of July fireworks shows didn't go off as planned in two New Jersey communities when a vendor failed to deliver the fireworks.

Rochelle Park-based Fireworks Extravaganza posted an apology Thursday on its Facebook page. It said a "perfect storm of events took place" that meant the fireworks could not be legally delivered Wednesday to Beachwood and Milltown on Wednesday.

The company was to deliver the fireworks and supplies from Maryland. But officials say the firm didn't have a licensed hazmat driver and also didn't have a contingency plan in place.

"It was a failure. But also a failure of not having a strong enough plan B in place for yesterday. And we simply ran out of time,” said president John Sagaria.

Beachwood Mayor Ron Roma said that he was mortified when the show had to be canceled.
